I'm starting to mess with Civil War rifles a little and this is my first one that may or may not seen action. It has been rode hard. It has been converted to 50-70. I have wondered if this is a Armory original or a Bannerman built rifle. Here are some pic's.

The barrel serial# is C,11623 and the tang is C,15000 it has a patchbox buttplate and 11 over 72 stamped on the buttstock and the barrel has a 72 stamped on it. The cartouche is just barely seen over the saddle ring bar.
